Didn't we already do this once :-) I would suspect someone is fooling around, not honest stupidity.

Yeah I think that guy is under 13 - if he's born in 2008 like his e-mail suggests it's probably bye-bye time.

Q: Why don't you connect unused hot and neutral wires to "complete the circuit"?

Ok so I'm new to home wiring and had a question I'd like explained to me. I removed a vent hood over my oven and I thought I had to complete the circuit so I tied the hot and neuteral wires that were powering the hood together with a wire nut, but all the lights on that breaker in the house didn'...

Psycogeek

it is questions like this, that make me think i am a qualified electrician, even though i dont have a licence :-)

Freedo

I was just thinking

stoned, watching cable tv which is so obsolete

Psycogeek

whats scary is knowing someday they will (have a licence)

Freedo

and i thought...why cable tv companies can afford to deliver hundreds of HD channels but a ISP struggle to deliver netflix if everybody in a neighborhood is using it

Psycogeek

it is amazing the ammount of crap they shove down that one wire. but most of it is "broadcast" the same stuff to everyone, not 2 way , no different stream .

the direct and pay to watch stuff, and watch in different times uses a rather small portion of the available bandwidth.

from looking at the frequencies available for the personal stream kind of stuff, it seems to me it could get overloaded very quickly, if lots and lots of people Paid out the nose for that kind of demand viewing.

Freedo

So you are essentially saying that they can do that because it's one way communication ?

Psycogeek

and similar to fiber being capable of sending tens of thousands of different light frequencies down it , which is how they will and do expand the fiber capability, the cable has a ton of radio frequencies they can pipe down the same line.

and cable unlike over air broadcast, is not (as) limited to the vast array of frequencies they can use.

Freedo

Is there any kind of estimation of much data a cable tv transmit ? Just curiosity

Psycogeek

i am sure there is that info available. it must have some limitations in the frequencies they use, because people indicate that even cable companies compress stuff.

I have an antenna, but dont really watch tv, and the dude who does, claims the picture looks much better.

but it could be due just as much to any processing, de-re coding, to add local advertising, and processing to get it back and forth and all the distribution and all.

@Freedo you know i asked you if you wanted bounty on your question, dont know if you saw it. but i got bounty for good questions, that are answerable and explained well and all.

Freedo

All my past questions I believe I found my own solution later

so it's not necessary anymore thanks

Psycogeek

and then didnt Self Answer them, naughty naughty :-)

Freedo

3:45 AM

I think I did on some

don't remember

Psycogeek

they were supposed to have like 500 channels down cable someday, about 13 that people would actually watch (thats how many there were in like 1960)

i counted ours once a few years ago and got about 330

Bob

@Freedo Broadcast, so you're limited by the number of channels regardless of the number of users. Netflix is limited by the number of simultaneous streams, not the number of shows (which do count towards storage space).

Also, IIRC in a single cable there's a lot more bandwidth allocated to TV than the data channels on the same cable.

Freedo

hmm I see

but I wish it was the other way

but I'm not aware of any cable tv offering 4k content

could they stream multiple 4k channels with current technology ?

Psycogeek

4:38 AM

they could. even now the breakdown on bandwith had HD and SD channels, 4 SD cHannels can be wedged into the same spaces as a HD channel. so 4 hd channel spaces or 16 SD could make up one QHD space. Be fine with me if they had only 50 channels and they were all 4K, I dont even have a 4k monitor :-) they could remove the 3 food channels and the 17 shopping channels the 8 preach2me channeLs and have lots of spaces :-0

If bob would take Rupert Murdock back to AU , i am sure they can find some crime to pin on him :-) fox news could go away and the IQ of the states would go up 2 points.
